Why choose an oil portrait over a professionally done photo




I often hear from clients and friends "This portrait looks like they it could be a photograph." I'm sure they think they are giving me the highest compliment, however my goal is to for my portrait to be better than a photo. Which makes me ask the question, why would a client commision an oil portrait, when you can hire an exquisite photographer to do a beautiful job? How does one verbalize the benefits of the painted picture?
